Ohio Toddler Homicide Suspect Arrested in Framingham After Multi-Agency Search
The capture follows a week-old warrant prompted by findings that a 2020 toddler death in Columbus was caused by blunt force trauma.
Overview
- Dioblis Williams, 25, was taken into custody in Framingham, Massachusetts, on August 27 on a warrant charging him with homicide of a child, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.
- Framingham police said Williams was disguised in a wig when an officer spotted him before his arrest, and he is set to be arraigned in Massachusetts on a fugitive charge.
- Officials said Williams will be returned to Ohio to face the murder charge after the Massachusetts court appearance.
- The victim, 2-year-old Jamir Jones, died on March 25, 2020, and an autopsy and criminal complaint determined he suffered blunt force injuries rather than drowning.
- Columbus police coordinated with the USMS Southern Ohio Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team and Massachusetts partners after a warrant was issued about a week earlier, and investigators asked the public for additional information.
